Misc help me work through a decision
Seriously.
I have been struggling at my job for as long as I’ve had it and just never understood my brain. I’ve been self medicating with drugs and alcohol for so long that I was just masking symptoms I guess.
Anyways- i can’t do my job unless I get prescribed medication. I have exhausted all tools for coping with ADHD and this is where I am now.
I’ve been successful in jobs where there’s action all the way through. I know what I have to do and I do it. There isn’t a ton of thinking or if there is it’s fueled by stress or some excitement(waitressing)
I’m an intelligent person so I always thought I needed a thinking job but maybe it’s just not for me. Like finishing up school and going that route might not be it for me.
I feel very resistant to go the medication route. I’m scared about how I’ll hear music. Right now it’s like how I cope and it feels amazing. If I don’t need it to cope then what happens? I want to start playing the drums. I can’t make a living playing drums.
What do?
This job was stepping me up towards what I thought my life should look like. It sucks idfk. ?? I don’t want to settle on being broke but here we are.
Inb4 tl;dr

I actually don’t even know if meds will help my job . I’m on the verge of being fired because I suck at like 80% of things you have to do when you work in that type of environment

I have things in my job like emailing people things and it takes me days to sort out how I am going to send them and then send them. I take extra processing energy to understand what's going on in meetings. I literally have no way to force myself to do things that I don't find interesting. The bottom line is likely that I hate most aspects of my job. I hate emailing people, I hate sitting in meetings.
If I'm on meds then the hate might go up to tolerable enough for me to do those things.
i don't know how else I will ever make it if I don't somehow make this job work- it's doubtful I will ever be able to do any job that centers around an office. Even if it's something that feels like it gets my brain to work and be stimulated I will still shut down when it comes to the boring tasks.

Don't quit. If you don't like the job, find something that you would like while still being employeed.
As far as the meds, I really don't think that is a good idea and won't give you the result you really want anyway. But, wtf do I know. Srs, vry srs.

Being genuinely srs here. You shouldn't be medicating yourself to get through a job. With booze or anything else. If it's that bad, change it.
You're only here for so long, and let's be honest you're as old as fuck so you haven't got as long left as the rest of us. So yeah, make the most of it.
Plus, your job would 100% fire you if you were even a minor inconvenience. So why the fuck would you make wholesale adjustments and risk your health for that shit?

Take the help you can - don't be ashamed. Sometimes medications can help, but ultimately it's a crutch and something else needs to change as well or you're just stuck in a limbo.
if you have access to someone professional to talk to I'd go there first - if lucky you get someone great and it can help you sort through things and get you set in the right direction.
Good luck.

Company's also right with expenses so probably tacos tbh. There's a few decent Mexican places in NYC now.
Kebabs as well. They have somewhat edible doner here now.
US Indian food is shit. The saars over here are fucking useless.
